Knowing that what happened today made Mrs. Hou angry, Mother Fang knelt on the ground and kowtowed continuously.

"Madam, I was wrong. I really didn't mean it..."

Without even looking at Mother Fang, Hou ordered Mother Luo, "Mother Luo, can you have someone deal with her and her family?"

Knowing that she had gotten into trouble, Mother Fang was mentally prepared to be beaten and killed, but she did not expect that Hou would not even let her family members go, and she collapsed to the ground in an instant.

"Madam, I know I was wrong... I did everything. I will accept your beating or killing. I only ask you to let my family go..."

After saying that, Mother Fang knelt on the ground and kowtowed continuously, and soon her forehead was covered with blood.

Seeing Mother Fang like this, Mother Luo's eyes flashed with a trace of pity. She reached out and called a few maids, who quickly dragged the person out.

"Madam, please, let my family go..."

Mother Fang's cries gradually faded away, and Hou just watched it all with indifference.

The room was eerily quiet for a moment. Everyone lowered their heads and dared not make a sound.

After a long time, a teacup was thrown heavily to the ground, and the maids around lowered their heads even lower.

After a while, Gu Jinqing said angrily: "Mom, this Fang mother really deserves to die. She actually made you spend so much money, and you just disposed of her whole family like this. It's really too easy for her..."

"Keeping those useless slaves around is a disaster. Dealing with them early is a way to stop the loss in time."

Hou's cold voice made the servants in the room lower their heads even more, for they were afraid that one day they would displease their master and end up like Fang Mama's family.

"Mother, I know."

Gu Jinqing agreed seriously, not feeling uneasy at all because of the lives that had just been lost.

"Girl, why are you here?"

Not wanting to talk about Fang's mother's family anymore, Hou held Gu Jinqing's hand and asked with concern.

"Mother, everyone in my yard was beaten by Nanny Yue, and we don't know when they will recover. I would like to ask you for a few useful people."

When Hou heard Gu Jinqing mention her injured servants, the anger that she had just suppressed rose again.

"This Madam Yue really thinks she is an important person. She even dares to hit the people around the master..."

"Mom, that old fellow is so abominable. As long as he stays in this mansion, we won't have a good life. I..."

Before Gu Jinqing could finish what she was saying, she heard the voice of a maidservant talking outside.

"What brought Nanny Yue to the old lady's place? Please come in quickly..."

"I heard that the Third Miss is here, so I came to see her..."

As Nanny Yue spoke, she walked into the room and saw Gu Jinqing standing next to Hou.

"My slave, please give my regards to the old lady."

Nanny Yue bowed earnestly to Mrs. Hou, then set her eyes on Gu Jinqing.

"If I remember correctly, Miss Third should be confined to her own courtyard right now..."

Without mentioning the fact that she was under house arrest, Gu Jinqing was still willing to hold back her temper. When she heard what Yue Ma said, she angrily said, "You old bastard, I am the third young lady of the mansion. What right do you have to punish me?"

Nanny Yue said in a serious tone: "Just because the Third Miss made a mistake, I am also following the rules of the mansion."

"You old fellow, don't think that just because you have served the Queen Mother for a few years, you can show off in my mansion. I tell you, this is the mansion, and we are the masters of this mansion..."

Facing Gu Jinqing's angry words, Nanny Yue coldly ordered the maids she had brought with her outside the door: "Take the third young lady back to her courtyard and keep her under house arrest for less than three months. She is not allowed to leave the courtyard at all."

"Yes!"

The people brought by Nanny Yue were all elderly people who had been arranged by the Queen Mother to live in the Marquis' Mansion. It can be said that these people may not listen to the master of the Marquis' Mansion, but they will definitely listen to Nanny Yue.

After receiving her instructions, he walked into the room and was about to take Gu Jinqing away. How could Hou Shi watch her daughter being bullied, so she slammed the table hard.

"How dare you listen to a servant and attack the young lady in the mansion? Who gave you the courage? Someone, take those stubborn servants away and beat them severely..."

As Hou's voice fell, a group of maids and old women rushed into the yard and surrounded Nanny Yue.

Nanny Yue didn't expect that Hou would go against her for Gu Jinqing.

"Madam, I respect you as the old lady, so I am being courteous. Don't forget that although this is the Marquis's residence, the Queen Mother is standing behind me. Are you sure you want to break the rules of the Marquis's residence?"

"Madame Yue, even if the Queen Mother is behind you, you still have to be reasonable, right?"

Hou Shi didn't dare confront the Queen Mother. She tried to suppress her anger and said in a cold voice, "Qing Jie'er did something wrong. If she wants to go back to her own courtyard and be confined, I will not stop her. You servants must not take her back."

Nanny Yue didn't want to make a big deal out of the matter. Since Hou was willing to take a step back, she naturally wouldn't insist. With just a glance, all the maids surrounding Gu Jinqing retreated.

"mother……"

Gu Jinqing wanted to say something aggrieved, but Hou patted her hand comfortingly.

"You go back first. Mom will come to see you when she has time."

"Ok!"

Gu Jinqing responded softly, glared at Nanny Yue fiercely, then turned and walked out the door.

Seeing Gu Jinqing leave, Nanny Yue and the servant behind her bowed to Hou and left.

As Fang's mother and others left, Hou angrily overturned the table in front of her.

She is the old lady in this marquis's mansion. Without the pressure from the marquis, she would be the most powerful person in other mansions. However, in their mansion, not only does her daughter-in-law not give her face, even a servant dares to challenge her.

There is no old lady in the world who lives a more miserable life than him. She is really mad at him. He really can't live in this crappy marquis' mansion for even one more day.

As the table was overturned, all the servants in the room knelt on the ground in fear.

Knowing that Mrs. Hou was very angry, Mother Luo waved her hand and asked everyone in the room to leave.

After receiving Mother Luo's instructions, all the servants bowed and left one after another, closing the door behind them when they left.

As the servants left, Mother Luo gently held Hou's hand in hers.

"Madam, I know you are suffering. If you are unhappy, just vent it out. Just throw anything you want, but don't keep the pain in your heart. It hurts me to see you like this..."

As Luo's mother finished speaking, Hou's eyes turned red and big tears rolled down her cheeks.

"Mother Luo, I seem to be the mistress of this Marquis's mansion. When the Marquis was alive, he was away from the mansion for most of the year. I played the role of both father and mother and raised several children.

Now that the children have grown up, I haven’t had time to enjoy a day of peace and quiet, and the Marquis has passed away again. Now there is no room for me to speak in the Marquis’ Mansion. It’s ok that my daughter-in-law doesn’t listen to me, but even a servant dares to challenge me. My life is so miserable..."
